On Day 10 in Taipei, Taiwan, Ying and I decided to take a day trip to Jiufen (of Jiu Fen) and on to Keelung City and have a day of eating Taiwanese street food. I’m extremely happy we had a chance to briefly visit both Jiufen and Keelung City. I’ll just quickly go over where and how we went from Taipei to Jiufen and then on to Keelung City using timecodes so you can come back to a location in the video easily if you want to.
0:38 How to Get from Taipei to Jiufen by Bus
Using the directly I read off Wikipedia travel guide, we took the Taipei Metro to Zhongxiao Fuxing Station, then took exit 1 (Andong Street) and made an immediate u-turn, walked to the intersection and made a left, and then the bus stop was right there on the right hand side. We somehow arrived to the bus stop right as 1062 arrived and if Taiwan couldn’t make things any more easy and efficient we boarded the bus using our easy cards. The bus ride from Taipei central there to the small town of Jiufen took just over 1 hour, and we soon arrived in the touristy, but very beautiful and pleasant town of Jiufen - which is one of the biggest little tourist towns in Taiwan. You can choose to take a day trip to Jiufen from Taipei like we did, or you can even spend the night or a few nights there.
2:45 Taiwanese street food at Jiufen
Jiufen is a small little mountain town in Taiwan about 1 hour from Taipei with a great view of the ocean… and it’s turned into a major tourism destination. Although you can go there to do some shopping and buy some souvenirs, by far the main reason to go to Jiufen on a day trip is to eat as much Taiwanese street food and snacks as you can - and also there are plenty of sit-down restaurant you can eat at as well. Ying and I started our day of eating Taiwan street food by eating a plate of snails and a plate of grilled squid, both of which had quite a similar texture, and the flavor was delicious. After the snails and squid, I couldn’t resist having a Taiwanese tea egg, one of the most popular snacks. After walking around and taking loads of photos of the picturesque scenes around Jiufen, Ying and I stopped at a real restaurant to take a little break, cool down from the hot sun, and eat some more food - this time at a real restaurant. I tried a dish called three cup chicken, which was deliciously comforting. Another very famous food to eat in Jiufen is the sweet taro balls, which was pretty good.
12:24 How to get from Jiufen to Keelung City on Bus #788
After spending a few hours wandering around Jiufen, we took the bus from just up the road directly to Keelung City, one of the harbour towns in Taiwan, and about a 45 minute drive from Jiufen. The reason we wanted to go to Keelung City was to go to Keelung Miaokou Night Market, one of the most famous Taiwanese street food markets in Taiwan.
13:35 Street food at Keelung Miaokou Night Market
One of the most well known night markets in Taiwan is Keelung Miaokou Night Market, located right in Keelung City, and home to an abundance of delicious things to eat. I was actually still quite full from all the food we had already eaten in Jiufen, but I did manage to try a few things at the night market, and also I just really enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere of the market. Ying and I luckily got a table and chairs at a small street food stall serving long finger sized dumplings, which were similar to gyoza. They were filled with minced pork and lots of green onions. Along with a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a plate of tofu, they were some of the best potsticker style dumplings I had on my entire trip to Taiwan. I also tried crab soup, and a famous street food called a Nutritious Sandwich.
Day 10 in Taiwan, and eating all sorts of Taiwanese street food snacks in both Jiufen and Keelung City was an excellent day trip.

Nutritious Sandwich was invented to serve American Sailors. After WWII, the American Navy ships were frequently docked in Keelung. The sailors wanted sandwiches, but the average Taiwanese home doesn't have ovens to bake bread, so someone deep fried the dough, and made what they thought a sandwich should have, ham, eggs, pickle and mayo. So what you ate is actually an old Taiwanese interpretation of American food.
hiroanz And it's called Nutritious Sandwich because after WWII, malnutrition was common. A high calorie sandwich with fried bread and sweet mayo is considered "nutritious" :)
+hiroanz amazing tidbit, i think ive heard of this before but i cant remember :")
correct, and sweet mayo is a thing in taiwan.
Mark you show people all over the world how to be the best human. Thanku
Taiwan is so underrated, everyone mentions Hong Kong & Singapore. But Taiwan have so much to offer, can't wait to go back there.
Totally agree!!
+myzer333 I think Taiwan has better quality but Singapore has more diversity of really good food because it's very globalised. But it's more of things from around the world rather than local diverse cuisine. So it depends on what you're looking for. You can definitely find more types of restaurants in Singapore but most people wouldn't travel to look for different restaurants to eat at.
I'm from Singapore and I enjoy Taiwanese food everytime I go there :D
+Peter Lee singapore is good, but HK is really nothing
Go to taiwan for more traditional chinese snacks but they are less hygienic, go singapore if u want luxury and variety of food ( singapore's weather is irresistable!)
Taipei was never on my bucket list but after watching these Mark it's definitely up there - if for nothing else for the food!!
I hope you get to visit TW soon! I just posted my video and already want to go back
mark! still the man, looks like youre loving taipei! Food looks delicious. Excited to be back in bangkok? - Luke, Canada
Zero
I am living vicariously through you until I am able to travel again. Great video's.
Lol. That was hilarious with the transportation card. It was telling you it did not like how it taste and spit it out! Lol Taiwan is very beautiful!! The looks so good too!
The food looks good, I mean.
Nice long video !!! Mark you and Ying can eat a lot, impressive
i love your face expressions after taking a bite of food.
My favorite vlog!!! Thanks mark.. You best!!
Big fan
You showed a world how to love and respect each other.
Yeah i agree
Hi Mark! Love watching your shows. I can't afford to travel right now, but when I watch your shows I feel like I am. Keep them coming, they are fantastic and make me hungry lol. Stay safe
I hope you get to visit TW soon! I just posted my video and already want to go back
Went back to work as a waiter in Las Vegas today. This video makes me miss the time before this bullshit pandemic. Hopefully things go back to normal soon.
KEEP YOUR VLOGS 20MINS MINIMUM LIKE THIS ONE! theyre very interesting and fun to watch, thats why i hate it when they end too soon
Hi Mark and Ying!! day 10,,Tiepei,.wow..all the food so delicious..let me start of with the grilled snail and squid..looks so good..love snail as well..the tea egg looks good as well..I want to try that at home something different..and the braise chicken that's the one with soy sauce right..looks so tender..fried dumplings I never tried..but I will try it whenever I have a chance..yeah I forgot to mention the chayote leaves one of my favorite vegetables
with garlic so yummy..and lastly the fried like a donut with tomatoes and blogna with white sauce..I want to try that as well looks so yummy and greasy that makes it really tasty..Thanks again for sharing your blog to us..they are very entertaining and informative..Can't wait for the next one..It was hilarious when you put your. card..and flew away..hehehe..--Elwyn--
That three cup chicken, dumpling and snail dishe are three more reasons to visit Taiwan !!!!!!
Great Video. I like the snails, always loved there flavor, squid is good but not my fav. It is always nice to be recognized by your fans or followers. Tea eggs are always good and easy snack and nice flavor. The chicken is always a nice snack. Does your wife eat as much as you?? lol I would think no by her size. lol. The 3 cup chicken looks simply yummy. I bet your mum is a wonderful cook. Taro balls with ice looks like halo halo with out the ice cream. I miss coffee, but to hard on my stomach but I love Chai Marsala Teas with milk. The night markets are awesome. so much food and things to enjoy. I envy you . The crab soup is something I know I would enjoy. The dumping's remind me of gyoza. I love gyoza. I love sin pickles and god tofu, I love Japanese Otsu kimono. I think the sauce in that sandwich is their version of salad cream. Enjoyed the video and all the great sites. love it Mark.
You have such a funny face when you eat ! You really made our day ! Thanks guys.
22:28 As a local I've never tried that, but the result is surprisingly hilarious. lol

Todays video has got to top the other days. I love the food you showed. Reminds me of my holidays in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai. The street food tends to taste very much like home cooking. Now I'm thinking of going to Taipei. Thanks Mark.

***** LOL Indeed, but it doesn't stand even the smallest chance against those pork noodle or dumpling let alone that awesome night market. No offense intended but whoever fall for the big M advertisement in the middle of that food holy land must have some parts inside them died already.
Mark! What is the name of the song in this video (the one playing at 1:50)? I want to download it so bad!! >_<
Love the video and awesome foods too, btw! :D
That "Nutritious" sandwich is like eating death!
He eats everywhere 😂
